When it comes to IT quotas and blather doesn't cut it, that's why so few colored and Spanish work in that industryhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/53d17a1ceab8ea407ec47b56AsianFinanceGuyThu, 24 Jul 2014 17:26:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53d17a1ceab8ea407ec47b56
I always find it strange that Asians are lumped in together with Whites when it comes to employment diversity statistics. Asians seems to be interchangeable with Whites when it is convenient for employment or educational diversity statistics to demonstrate some type of inequality. Pinterest doesn't have a diversity problem, when you put the Asians in the minority column; 50% of their employees are minorities. So, what's the problem here? I bet Tracy Chou won't be singing the same tune if she loses out on a promotion to a Hispanic or African American employee.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53d1735d6da811406de6edecDoug in VirginiaThu, 24 Jul 2014 16:58:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53d1735d6da811406de6edec
Maya hates men, especially white and Asian men.
By definition, they have zero "diversity."
Who cares about individuals, anyway?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53d16f3fecad042d3694df51jamesxxxxxxxThu, 24 Jul 2014 16:40:31 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53d16f3fecad042d3694df51
Tracy Chou - 'where are the numbers' ?
The numbers are in: Asians are massively over represented in high tech.
So - uhhh ...
Yeah, there's that, Mrs. 'Chou'.
Seriously.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53d16ef169beddcb5d5d7582jamesxxxxxxxThu, 24 Jul 2014 16:39:13 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53d16ef169beddcb5d5d7582
Seems like White people are under represented.
Can we sue?
Maya - your inability to look at these figures in a nuanced way - in anything but politically correct terms is disgusting.
Your ideology is repugnant, and ideology in journalism is equally repugnant.
It's glaringly obvious to most in the world that these numbers are actually fairly good representation of the kinds of people who are graduating with tech degrees - and in contrast to your corrupt view of the world - the numbers actually validate that these companies are pretty fair --> they are hiring those who graduate with tech degrees almost equally irrespective of race, gender.
The fact that when even white people (supposed oppressors) are actually *under represented* and yet somehow you're still screaming bloody murder ... really ...
It's really a shame to see so much garbage and tripe from the likes you you and your generation.
But please - keep it up - because most will see this garbage for what it is and come to see modern feminism as complete communist nonsense - arbitrarily allocating jobs to people because of their skin colour instead of their education levels etc..
One day, you will look in the mirror, take a reality pill and be ashamed at all of this nonsense you wrote 'in your naive' youth.
Almost all 1st wave feminists are not on your side.
Most people reading your post are smart enough to see the truth: keep up the good work reminding us that modern feminism and equality campaigns are totally corrupt concepts.
